Guestbook comments from the owner
From our Guestbook:
Thank you so much for the wonderful week we enjoyed at your "home away from home"! The view was spectacular! Being able to walk on the beach all day was great! This week was certainly a "stress release" that we both needed. We had a good time bike riding too. "402 Condo" has everything anyone would want or need! Thanks again for your beautiful condo and allowing us to enjoy it.

Relax and Enjoy!!
Beautiful well-eqipped condo. Meticulously maintained grounds. Great for relaxing and getting away.
The beach is amazing and perfect for long walks, shell hunting, and sunset cocktails. We checked out the surrounding beaches and none were better.
The heated pool is a delight for children, and you can sit on your balcony and watch them play in the water. The unit had plenty of beach toys for use at the beach or in the pool.
Shop for grocerys before you enter the island - the local grocers are over priced and the quality of meats and fresh food is poor. If you eat out, try the Island Cow, the Blue Giraffe and Matzaluna Italian. Reasonably priced, varied menus, kid-friendly and lots of food.
The area attractions will be satisfying to a nature-lover, but didn't cut it for the adventure seeker. Also, parking at most attractions on the island is a hassle.
We recommend this vacation spot for those who want to get away and enjoy the beach, without spending alot of time sightseeing. That exactly what we wanted to do, and this gem of a unit fit the bill!!
We just had a fantastic summer vacation at Sandpiper Beach 402
Sandpiper Beach 402 was a welcoming retreat on Sanibel Island. The condo itself is lovely and the owner provides almost everything you need for the week at the beach! The private beach, pool, tennis court, shuffleboard court, bikes, etc. combined with all of the wonderful treasures of Sanibel Island ensured that we were never sitting around looking for something to do. The kids are already planning our next vacation!
Overall a nice property with nice view and beach access.
The grounds are nicely kept and the boardwalk to the beach was nice as well. The beach was beautiful and not crowded. Over the weekend the several boats that anchored right in front of us and played loud music all day were annoying, but the weekdays were nice and peaceful.
There were a few things in the condo that needs upgrading: the ceiling fan on the lanai, the toaster, and hair dryer in master bath were all non functional. The pullout mattress in the sofa sleeper was horribly thin and uncomfortable.
Aside from that, the stay was wonderful. There were plenty of chairs, bikes and other accessories in the storage unit to use. We would stay at Sandpiper Beach again.
Meticulous, Steps to beach, and Peaceful!!
My family and I had such a great stay at Sandpiper Beach. The condo was ready for us and was clean on our arrival. We were stunned by the beautiful view--overlooks the serene pool and the ocean. There is a dedicated very short boardwalk style path to the beach--kept our feet from getting too hot! We loved how quiet and relaxing this condo complex was. The pool was beautiful too!!
The condo itself was amazing, with everything that we needed in it. We really enjoyed the comfortable beds, and that we had Royal Shell only a phone call away if anything went wrong (but nothing did!). Overall, this was an amazing experience, and we will definitely be returning soon!
Sandpiper 402...EXCELLENT
My family and I traveled from Chicago and just spent 13 days at Sandpiper 402 (Two adults and three kids under the age of 7). The property was amazing. The pool was very nice and the beach was wonderful. The condo was perfect. There was a small issue with the AC unit not working properly but a call to Royal Shell Management (very friendly and helpful) had the issue resolved within 24 hours. Sandpiper comes with everything you need for a vacation. Ample amount of cleaning supplies (if needed), laundry soap, dish washing soap, vacuum, beach chairs, beach towels, beach toys...etc. Nothing was left out.
We enjoyed the property fully and loved the fact it was pet free and smoke free give that two out of my three kids have asthma (the renters after us stayed in their review that they "thought" we had a "smelly dog" in the condo, which could not be true given the asthma concerns." And for the fact I DONT OWN A DOG!
Overall the Sandpiper Beach properties and Royal Shell Management were outstanding. We look forward to returning to the property in the future.
Condo much nicer than pictures, but ...
The pictures do not do justice, since the unit is renovated very nicely. Bed- and bathrooms were spotless, Bed really nice and comfy.
But ... unfortunately when we arrived at the condo, the kitchen and living room smelled very bad, there must have been a very smelly dog in there (and believe me, I know how a dog can smell), even while there are no pets allowed. In addition, my husband found salad leaves and chips underneath the table. Since we arrived on new years eve, we could not reach out to the keeper and our first task was to buy an anti odor spray. On the 2nd of January we went straigt to Royal Shell and had a bad surprise. They were unfriendly and told us it could not be that it smells in the apartment. Not at all the usual friendly and customer oriented behaviour we normally experience in the U.S..
After a discussion, they cleaned the apartment once more, but again, we there were still some breadcrumbs and other stuff on the floor. The smell was to 90% gone, but it really was a downside for our (expensive) vacation.
In essence, we recomment the condo, but not the rental agency, Royal Shell.
